London, Oct. 6. Can't get away from Manchester City these days. Sunderland, Arsenal, Preston North End and Stoke City are all on the City's heels. In spite of that the Maine Road wonder team are collaring most of the limelight; writes a cor- respondent.
The City go from strength to strength. Their latest effort was probably their best. They had three players in the England side. Another trusty member, Bob by Marshall, was injured. Before the end of the game at Micales- brough one player was off the field and another was injured. City won!

Manchester City are then at home to Derby County--no mean opponents-and the decision, re- quired by the Maine Road officials is not an easy one. Their game at Highbury on Saturday week, com- plicates the issue.
Defeat then is not an unlikely happening and would mean strong king to be at full strength in the next game on the day when Scotland play Ireland
The buoyant enthusiasts may say "Let the players play for their country. The City can win with- out them."
A point to remember is that Manchester City have never yet won the League Champlon- ship and have never had a -. better chance of doing so than with this teun.
This week the, City have Black- burn Rovers at Maine Road. .It was a big shock to the Ewood tearn to lose their unbeaten home record. It will be a big shock to everyone If the Rovers do not get a beating at Manchester.
There are stalwarts in the Ro- vers' defence. I would class Cliff Binns among the best for goal- keepers in the country. Jesse Car- ver gives opposing centre-forwards precious little scope. Jack Bruton still stands out as one of the most consistent players.
But these are the Rovers' high. lights. Other features are дом nearly so bright. No football match is a certainty, but most peo- ple will fancy Manchester City as the winners of this ganie,

NORTHERN "DERBY"
Sunderland's win over Leicester City ought to be the forerunner of a win over Middlesbrough at Roker Park. This "derby" game may not raise enthusiasm to the old heights.
For one thing Middlesbrough are not going well. Then that recent defeat of Sunderland by Derby County has tempered enthusiasın regarding Sunderland's chances of; winning the. title. There will be a lot of good football in this Wear- Tees meeting but Sunderland seem the more likely to make the move-i ments which will lead to goais.
Having deprived Blackburn Ro- vers of that home record, Bioke City will be in high spirits for the *game against the Arsenal at the
Victoria Ground.
This is one of the Potters big days. The Arsenal's visit is a big draw, but there is more than that in the game. Stoke City, in their second season sines promotion, are developing into a sound First Divi-

This is
a test for the Preston belief that size doesn't count it the football ability is there, The North End continue to move very well but in this game I think the de- fences will have most of the say.
There are four, particularly keen Lackling wing halfs on view and the North End may forfeit their first home point of the season.
THE HUDDERSFIELD SLUMP. It is strange indeed to find Hud- dersåled Town at the bottom of the table. Last season the Leeds Road side was making some sort of a challenge for honours. Now?
Things get worse and worse at Huddersfield because with Goodall, Campbell and Williams back to the ranks, the team lost to Leeds United for the first time in 17 Lea-
gue meetings
The finishing work of the for-
wards is one remaining weakness but strong defence by Roy Goodall, George Roughton and AK Young, may pave the way to a win against the Wolves

why I am doubtful about them at Leeds' Read.
Chelsea have yet to win a point away from Stamford Bridge. Ever- ton have won all their four home games. What odds when the Fen- stoners turn out at Goodison?
I can't see the Londoners doing much Still, I must place on record that Everton's away form is poor, and is calculated to give rise to misgiving. amongst those interest- ed in the club.
Remembering their whirlwind football of last season, it is sur- prising to find the Spurs so far down the chart. There have been injuries at White Hart Lane, but these alone do not account for the slump.
The Spurs strike me as & parallel case to West Bromwich Albion. The Albion won the cup and promotion in one sea- son by play that was stamped by great speed in getting to the ball. As that feature he- came less pronounced so did the side's success decline..
The Spurs have already last two home games, but Leicester City. though more strongly represented than last week; may not be good enough to increase the number.
A feature in the Leicester ranks is the success of young Sharman. This centre-half from Lough- borough is playing so well as to keep out Roger Heywood, a pivot just on the fringe of Internation-
